In the opinion of Greenidge management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented and such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any future interim period. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes required by United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for complete financial statements.

The Company has reflected the operations of its Support.com business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures throughout these notes to the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements relate solely to continuing operations and exclude all discontinued operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to the consolidated financial statements of the Company in its 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Going Concern

In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern, the Greenidge's management evaluated whether there are conditions or events that pose risk associated with the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date these financial statements have been issued. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern.

When comparing to December 31, 2021, during 2022 the bitcoin price declined as much as 66% and ended the year 64% lower. Natural gas prices were much higher during 2022 compared to 2021, peaking at approximately 160% higher than the December 31, 2021 price, and ending the year approximately 47% higher than the December 31, 2021 price. The volatility in these commodity prices negatively impacted the Company's results in 2022 and, while the market has improved in 2023, the Company continues to address the negative impacts. As a result, management took certain actions during the second half of 2022 and during 2023 to improve the Company's liquidity that are described further below. At September 30, 2023, the Company had $10.7 million of cash, restricted cash and cash equivalents, while having

$29.6 million of accounts payable and accrued expenses, an estimated $1.7 million of environmental liability spend in the next 12 months, which are the main drivers of a negative ending working capital deficit. Additionally, the Company has $6.1 million of interest payments due over the next twelve months, exclusive of the debt and principal payments which were settled subsequent to September 30, 2023, as a result of the NYDIG transaction described below.

The ability to continue as a going concern is dependent upon the Company generating profitable operations in the future and/or obtaining the necessary financing to meet its obligations and repay its liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. In an effort to improve liquidity, the Company has completed or is in the process of completing the following transactions:

•In September 2022, Greenidge entered into an at-the-market issuance sales agreement, as amended, dated as of September 19, 2022, by and among the Company, B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“B. Riley Securities”) and Northland Securities, Inc., relating to shares of Greenidge’s Class A common stock (the "ATM Agreement"), and since October 1, 2022 through November 10, 2023, have received net proceeds of $14.0 million from sales of Class A common stock under the ATM Agreement, of which $11.7 million of net proceeds was received since January 1, 2023. See Note 9, "Stockholder's Equity", for further details.

•On January 30, 2023, the Company entered into debt restructuring agreements with NYDIG ABL LLC ("NYDIG") and B. Riley Commercial Capital, LLC ("B. Riley Commercial"). The restructuring of the NYDIG debt is expected to improve the Company's liquidity during 2023 as the payments required in 2023 on the remaining principal balance is interest payments of $2.0 million. This reduced debt service is substantially lower than the $62.7 million of principal and interest payments which would have been required in 2023 pursuant to the 2021 and 2022 Master Equipment Finance Agreements, both of which were refinanced in January 2023. See Note 5, "Debt" for further details regarding the debt restructuring agreements.

•In conjunction with the restructuring of the debt with NYDIG, the Company also entered into hosting agreements with NYDIG on January 30, 2023 (the “NYDIG Hosting Agreements”), which is expected to improve its liquidity position, as it provided for cost reimbursements for key input costs, while allowing the Company to participate in the upside should bitcoin prices rise.

•In August 2023, in connection with a non-binding term sheet that the Company entered into with NYDIG in June to effect a deleveraging transaction, the Company completed an electrical upgrade at its South Carolina facility increasing the capacity to 44 MW. Upon completion of this expansion, on August 10, 2023, the Company and NYDIG amended the NYDIG Hosting Agreements to increase the number of miners being hosted by Greenidge utilizing all of the expansion. The NYDIG Hosting Agreements were amended in furtherance of the broader transaction contemplated by the non-binding term sheet pursuant to which the Company would sell to NYDIG all of the upgraded mining facilities at the South Carolina site and would also subdivide and sell to NYDIG the approximately 22 acres of land on which the facilities are located. This deleveraging transaction with NYDIG closed on November 9, 2023. In exchange for the sale to NYDIG of the upgraded South Carolina mining facilities and the subdivided approximate 22 acres of land, Greenidge received total consideration of approximately $28 million:

◦The Senior Secured Loan with NYDIG with remaining principal of approximately $17.7 million was extinguished;

◦The B Riley Commercial Secured Promissory Note with remaining principal of approximately $4.1 million as of September 30, 2023, which NYDIG purchased from B. Riley Commercial on July 20, 2023 at par was extinguished;

◦A cash payment of approximately $4.5 million, and;

◦The Company will also receive bonus payments earned of approximately $1.6 million as a result of the completion of the expansion of the upgraded mining facility and the facility's uptime performance, which are payable at the completion of the transition services period, which is anticipated to occur in December 2023.

In conjunction with the sale, the Company and NYDIG terminated the South Carolina Hosting Order. As a result, at the time of closing the Company returned NYDIG's security deposit, which are included in other long-term

liabilities as of September 30, 2023, resulting in a cash outflow of $2.2 million. Within thirty days of closing, the Company also expects to receive a cash inflow of $3.5 million from the return of its security deposit held by the local utility, which was included in prepaid expenses and other assets as of September 30, 2023.

Additionally, the Company paid the remaining accrued interest on the Senior Secured and Secured Promissory Note of $0.9 million. The Company also settled certain third party transaction costs and Greenidge's share of local taxes of $0.5 million.

Prior to the closing of the South Carolina Facility sale, the Company had a cash outflow of approximately $0.9 million related to the settlement of accounts payable related to the facility upgrade, which were classified as current liabilities held for sale as of September 30, 2023.

Following the completion of the South Carolina Facility sale, the Company continues to own approximately 153 acres of land in South Carolina, and is assessing potential uses of the remaining site, which may include the sale of the property. The NYDIG Hosting Agreements related to the New York Facility were not impacted by this transaction and remain in place.

•In addition, the Company sold equipment, coupons and certain environmental credits for total proceeds of $11.7 million from the second quarter of 2022 through the second quarter of 2023 to raise additional funds.

•Since entering into the NYDIG Hosting Agreements, the Company has identified opportunities to deploy its company-owned miners. In March 2023, the Company entered into a hosting agreement with Conifex Timber Inc. ("Conifex"), whereby Conifex will provide hosting services to Greenidge utilizing renewable power (the “Conifex Hosting Agreement”). In April 2023, the Company entered into a hosting agreement with Core Scientific, Inc. ("Core") in which Core will host and operate Greenidge-owned bitcoin miners at its facilities (the “Core Hosting Agreement”, and together with the NYDIG Hosting Agreements and the Conifex Hosting Agreement, the “Hosting Agreements”). In addition, the Company installed approximately 1,500 additional company-owned miners at its existing facilities in Dresden, New York. The Company believes that the installation of these miners at Conifex and Core facilities along with those miners at its own facilities will improve the Company's profits and liquidity during the remainder of 2023 and beyond.

Despite these improvements to the Company's financial condition, Greenidge management expects that it will require additional capital in order to fund the Company’s expenses and to support the Company’s near-term working capital needs and remaining debt servicing requirements. Management continues to assess different options to improve its liquidity which include, but are not limited to:

•issuances of equity, including but not limited to issuances under the Equity Purchase Agreement and/or the ATM Agreement.

•a sale of the Company's remaining real estate in South Carolina and/or sale of the remaining miner infrastructure equipment inventory, which was not used in the South Carolina expansion.

The Company estimates that its cash resources will be depleted by the end of the first quarter of 2024. The Company's estimate of cash resources available to the Company for the next 12 months is dependent on completion of certain actions, including the completion of the sale of the South Carolina real estate, a sale of remaining equipment inventory, or obtaining additional short-term outside financing; as well as bitcoin prices and blockchain difficulty levels similar to those existing as of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and energy prices similar to the those experienced in the third quarter of 2023. While bitcoin prices have begun to recover during the first nine months of 2023 from the significant declines experienced in 2022, management cannot predict when or if bitcoin prices will recover to sufficient levels for a sustained period of time, or the volatility of energy costs. While the Company continues to work to implement options to improve liquidity, there can be no assurance that these efforts will be successful and the Company's liquidity could be negatively impacted by factors outside of its control, in particular, significant decreases in the price of bitcoin, regulatory changes concerning cryptocurrency, increases in energy costs or other macroeconomic conditions and other matters identified in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Given this uncertainty regarding the Company's financial condition over the next 12 months from the date these financial statements were issued, the Company has concluded that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue From Contracts With Customer - Hosting

On January 30, 2023, Greenidge entered into the NYDIG Hosting Agreements, with Greenidge operating miners owned by NYDIG affiliates. Under these agreements, the Company agreed to host, power and provide technical support services, and other related services, to NYDIG affiliates’ mining equipment at certain Greenidge facilities for a term of five years. The terms of such arrangements requires NYDIG affiliates to pay a reimbursement fee that covers the cost of power and direct costs associated with management of the mining facilities, a hosting fee as well as a gross profit-sharing arrangement. Under the NYDIG Hosting Agreements, NYDIG affiliates are required to provide Greenidge an upfront security deposit, pay a configuration fee for the setup of new or relocated miners, and pay for repairs and parts consumed in non-routine maintenance (i.e., units that are out of service for more than 12 hours).

Datacenter Hosting Revenue

The Company generates revenue from contracts with customers from providing hosting services to a single third-party customer. Hosting revenue is recognized as services are performed on a variable basis. The Company recognizes variable hosting revenue each month as the uncertainty related to the consideration is resolved, hosting services are provided to its customer, and its customer utilizes the hosting service (the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the Company's performance). The Company's performance obligation related to these services is satisfied over time. The Company recognizes revenue for services that are performed on a consumption basis (the amount of electricity utilized by the customer) as well as through a fixed fee that is earned monthly and a profit sharing component based on the net proceeds earned by the customer in the month from bitcoin mining activities. The Company bills its customer at the beginning of each month based on the anticipated consumption under the contract. Invoices are collected in the month of invoicing under the terms of the contract. The Company recognizes revenue based on actual consumption in the period and invoices adjustments in subsequent periods or retains credits toward future consumption.

Cryptocurrency Mining Revenue

Greenidge has entered into digital asset mining pools by executing contracts with the mining pool operators to provide computing power to the mining pool. The contracts are terminable at any time at no cost by either party and Greenidge’s enforceable right to compensation begins only when, and lasts as long as, Greenidge provides computing power to the mining pool operator. In exchange for providing computing power, Greenidge is entitled to a fractional share of the cryptocurrency award the mining pool operator theoretically receives less digital asset transaction fees to the mining pool operator. The agreements entered into with the pool operators payout based on a Full-Pay-Per-Share payout formula, which is based on a conceptual formula that calculates the hash rate provided by Greenidge to the mining pool as a percentage of total network hash rate and other inputs. Under this payout formula, Greenidge is entitled to consideration upon the provision of computing power to the pool even if a block is not successfully placed by the pool operator. Revenue is measured as the value of the fractional share of the cryptocurrency award received from the pool operator, which has been reduced by the transaction fee retained by the pool operator.

Providing computing power in digital asset transaction verification services is an output of Greenidge’s ordinary activities. The provision of such computing power is the only performance obligation in Greenidge’s contracts with mining pool operators. The cryptocurrency that Greenidge receives as transaction consideration is noncash consideration, which Greenidge measures at fair value on the date received at the liquidation price received in the sale of the bitcoin reward, which is not materially different than the fair value at the contract inception or the time Greenidge has earned the award from the pools. The awards are received each day for the previous day's revenue and are automatically sold shortly after receipt. The consideration is all variable based on the amount of computing power provided by Greenidge and the total network hash rate and it is probable that a significant reversal of the consideration will not occur.

Pool fees paid by miners to pooling operators are based on a fixed percentage of the theoretical bitcoin block reward and network transaction fees received by miners. Pooling fees are netted against daily bitcoin payouts. Greenidge does not expect any material future changes in pool fee percentages paid to pooling operators.

Digital Assets

Digital assets, primarily consisting of bitcoin, are included in current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Digital assets are classified as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, and are accounted for in connection with Greenidge’s revenue recognition policy. Digital assets held are considered an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life, which is not amortized but assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently, when events or changes in circumstances occur indicating that it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived asset is impaired.

The Company performs an analysis each period to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted prices on principal markets, indicate that it is more likely than not that its digital assets are impaired. Digital assets are considered impaired if the carrying value is greater than the lowest daily quoted prices at any time during the period. For quoted prices of bitcoin, the Company uses a source that publishes daily cryptocurrency trading metrics from information from multiple exchanges and uses an algorithm that factors the confidence from the distribution of prices reported by the exchanges. Subsequent reversal of impairment losses is not permitted. There were no impairments recorded during 2023. The Company assessed its digital assets for impairment, recorded an impairment of $0.1 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which is included in Other income, net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company no longer holds bitcoin assets in custody wallets. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s digital assets consisted of approximately 29.0 bitcoins.

The Company considers the conversion of digital assets into U.S. dollars as a part of its normal operating activities and includes the impact of that conversion in Net cash flow (used for) provided by operating activities from continuing operations on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
